Join me on Notes!
While I won't be leaving Twitter, I'll certainly be using the Notes platform on Substack!
I just published my first note on Substack Notes and honestly, I think it’s a solid platform. Is it a viable competitor to Twitter? Certainly. Will I stop using Twitter? Not a chance. Not only do I have an audience that I’ve built over the years on that platform, but I am also committed to watching that ship slowly sink (or even make a miraculous recovery).
For context, Notes is a new space on Substack that allows you to share links, short posts, quotes (from publications), photos, and more. I plan to use it for work-in-progress updates on upcoming articles!
Testing Out Substack Notes
Here’s how it works:
This was my first note! It’s a preview of a new article I’m writing about the invention of “tabletop roleplaying” as a practice.
I look forward to seeing how this feature evolves and I hope you’ll join me for this journey!

Head to substack.com/notes or find the “Notes” tab in the Substack app. As a subscriber to Musings of an Enthusiast, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!
You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of Musings of an Enthusiast can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
Interesting find! The game described is a weird mess of rules and math.
That said, there are patents featuring non-cubic polyhedral dice (not all with numbers). For example, for polyhedral dice familiar to TTRPG players: US0809293 from 1904 shows decahedral dice; US1480360 from 1922 shows octahedral dice; US1555447 from 1922 features icosahedral dice; US1517113 from 1923 shows dodecahedral dice. Other shapes are disclosed in patents include: US1419056 from 1920 shows tetradecahedral dice; GB194837 discloses rhombic dodecahedral dice; US1986710 from1934 and GB697160 from 1952 show different 32-sided polyhedral dice.
